While engine was out I pulled the old carpet out of the boat and cleaned up the floor. Had all the pieces aluminum pieces anodized to match, installed new anodized fuel fills, and went back with all new polished fasteners. Installed oil temp and hourmeter gauges. Installed new anodized overboard dumps (2 for eng, 1 for cooler, 1 for bilge)

Berkley pump with droop, hyd diverter, billet inducer, jet-away rachet, loader, and ride plate. Not sure what cut the impeller is, a pump rebuild was next on the list but haven't done it yet. Works fine the way it is.

You have a beautiful Ultra!

Interesting trailer design. At one time was that a dolly trailer that got converted to a road trailer?

I am pretty sure she's got more in her with 800 ponies.

Sounds good. Pretty ballsy to not have a belt guard on that thing!

Thanks for the compliments guys. I thought about putting a guard on but never found one I liked. Not sure about the trailer, it was setup as a road trailer when I bought it.
